Pros

The people are incredibly smart, mission driven, and fun.

Cons

Gossipy culture, low morale, and feels like there's a lot of "hurry up and wait." A lot of things that are "extremely high priority" and we are made to do a lot of work but then it's never used. Also WAY too much reporting / justifying the team's existence, almost constantly.

Pros

Academic environment that has a lot of interesting science problems from mapping, optimization, plus all the usual user metrics. Rewarding and complex problems that often have a lo t of tradeoff.

Cons

For how good the ICs are, leadership is equally bad. Just riddled with poor decisions top/down. Also given the current state, Uber is just too strong of a competitor and you feel that pressure every day.
